The IFALPA PGA RPWG has released its report which highlights how IFALPA should confront the challenge of the technological uprising, and nascent regulatory and industrial challenges, carried along with the concept of RPAS and the RPs that fly them. AusALPA reps played a pivotal role in drafting the report and were acknowledged for their contribution.

Some time ago, AusALPA presented a discussion paper on AIRs to the ATSB and other agencies that highlighted the deficiencies of AIRs, whilst listing other enhancements that would provide greater safety benefit.

ATSB are in the process of developing a more formalised way of seeking external expertise to assist in investigations through the development of a subject matter expertise (SME) register and have plans to include our nominated representatives.
